Nowadays, customers crave emotional connection and authenticity from brands. Therefore, every year we see an increase in representation and inclusion among brand campaigns for special days like Mother’s Day.

This year we see more and more companies showcasing the reality of motherhood and the beauty of diversity among mothers around the world. Moreover, we see more inclusive messages for people who may not celebrate this day, or see it in a different light.

These days, mothers feel more empowered to expose their unspoken experiences with motherhood, challenge the commonly-minimized challenges of being a mother, demand societal change, share their learning outcomes on stigmatized topics, and own their postpartum bodies with confidence. Hence, campaigns should definitely align with that.

Thus, it is with great pleasure that we welcome an increasing number of brands acknowledging that the idealized image of all stages of being a mother is now an obsolete approach to portray.

We present to you the best Mother’s day campaigns of 2022!

Baby Dove – Acknowledging the hardships of Motherhood

After it was found that American mothers don’t feel society allows them to share how hard the first year of motherhood really is. The American skincare brand partnered up with Postpartum Support International to shed the light on the stigmatized hardships of motherhood.

Disputing the typically idealized picture of motherhood portrayed on social media, the brand encouraged mothers to share their untold postpartum moments and challenges under the hashtag #OneRealPressure.

Sephora – Inclusive Motherhood

This year, Sephora ‘celebrates all moms’. Their Mother’s day campaign centered around inclusivity and representation of who one may consider a ‘mother’. In a heartfelt ad, they showcased the wide array of mother figures, beyond biological motherhood and heteronormativity.

“Here’s to the adoptive moms, drag moms, mentor-moms, stepmoms, biological moms, pet moms, and more.”

Upwork – Hire a Working Mother

The Covid-19 pandemic took a toll on employment, including that of working Mothers. Under the slogan ‘What makes them a great mom also makes them a great hire’, Upwork urges businesses to re-hire mothers who were impacted.
